George W. Bush likes the tax cuts he enacted as President. But he realizes that the moniker that has come with the cuts — the "Bush tax cuts" — probably isn't the best thing for keeping them around.

“I wish they weren’t called the Bush tax cuts,” Bush said in opening remarks at the Bush Institute Conference on Taxes and Economic Growth in New York City, according to Politico. “If they’re called some other body’s tax cuts, they’re probably less likely to be raised.”

"If you raise taxes on these so-called rich, you're really raising taxes on the job creators," he said at the conference, according to CNN. "And if the goal is to create private sector growth, you have to recognize that the best way is to leave capital in the treasuries of the job creators."

The Bush tax cuts have been at the center of debate since Bush first enacted them. Bush and other proponents say they are necessary for growth in the private sector. Critics say they unfairly skew more of the tax burden on the middle class.

Meanwhile, President Obama is on the road in the swing state Florida on Tuesday, where he will outline his own tax plan on millionaires — a.k.a "The Buffett Rule." The White House released a report Tuesday outlining why it thinks the rule, which would tax millionaires on 30 percent of their income, is necessary.

Some of the arguments:

• The average tax rate paid by the very highest-income Americans has fallen to nearly the lowest rate in over 50 years.

• In 2009, a full 22,000 households making more than $1 million a year paid less that 15 percent in income taxes.

* Nearly a quarter of millionaires pay less in taxes than millions of members of the middle class. "This is fundamentally unfair," the report says.
